Original:

|
The king of Zor, he called for war
|
And the king of Zam, he answered.
|
They fashioned their weapons one upon one
|
Ton upon ton, they called for war at the rise of the sun.
|
|
Out went the call to one and to all
|
That echoed and rolled like the thunder.
|
Trumpets and drums, roar upon roar
|
More upon more.
|
Rolling the call of "Come now to war."
|
|
Throughout the night they fashioned their might
|
With right on the side of the mighty.
|
They puzzled their minds plan upon plan
|
Man upon man
|
And at dying of dawn the great war began.
|
|
They met on the battlefield banner in hand.
|
They looked out across the vacant land.
|
And they counted the missing, one upon one,
|
None upon none.
|
The war it was over before it begun.
|
|
Two little kings playing a game.
|
They gave a war and nobody came.
|
And nobody came.
|
And nobody came.
|
And nobody came.
|
And nobody came.
